Rohit was a dreamer..... always lost in dreams..... He dreamt of everything, his parents, his friends, his favourite sports and of course he also dreamt about her. She had long flowing shining hair, deep blue eyes and dew-drop-like skin.
Then one day he met her, on his way from home. She sat besides him on his overnight journey from Nagpur to Hyderabad. At first he couldnt believe his eyes. He sat silent, his eyes away into the darkness, away from her long flowing shining hair, away from her deep blue eyes. His hands away from her tender dew-drop-like skin. She was the first to break the dark silence.
Excuse me, could you help me lower my Chair ??, she said
Sssssure......, Rohit stammered
Thanks, Are you travelling to Hyderabad??, honey flowed again.....
Yyyyes !!
Nice to meet you, she chimed.
By this time Rohit was able to see Europa and the other suns of Jupiter......
Their conversation was stopped by the movie that was being played in the bus "Dil Chahta hai". He watched her secretly smiling at some of the scenes of the movie.
After a few hours the bus stopped for dinner. Rohit slipped away silently avoiding her (he has still not asked her name) hoping that she does not find him for dinner. He found a lonely corner and ordered a veg thali.
There you are, more honey flowed, Is the food edible ??
Yyyes, Rohit stammered again
The rest of the conversation involved her speaking and Rohit just muttering hmm, sure, yyess, nnooo, yeah...
After dinner, they boarded the bus and continued to talk. Finally the lights went out and she went to sleep. But Rohit could not sleep a wink! Finally he decided to steal a look at her. Her face reflected peace, her face smiling as if watching a beautiful dream, her hair undone and still shining in the half-moon light. This is it, Rohit thought and then he dozed off into his sleep.
His eyes woke up next day morning with her packing her bags. She thrust her card into his hand and smiled, please contact me if you require any help in Hyderabad, her teeth flashing like the famous pearls of Hyderabad. SSure, Rohit said.
They both descended from the bus, Rohit went towards Kondapur, Shailaja (he read from her card) went off to a distant unknown land. As she dissapeared in the crowd, Rohit looked at the card, and tore it off to 10 pieces.
That night Rohit had another beautiful dream.
